/**
* Little helper class to clean up static objects that are
* held as pointer.
* When the library is unloaded, or the app terminated, all static deleters
* are destroyed, which in turn destroys those static objects properly.
* There are some rules which you should accept in the KStaticDeleter managed
* class:
* @li Don't rely on the global reference variable in the destructor of the
* object, it will be '0' at destruction time.
* @li Don't rely on other KStaticDeleter managed objects in the destructor
* of the object, because it may be destroyed before your destructor get called.
* This one can be tricky, because you might not know that you actually use a
* KStaticDeleter managed class. So try to keep your destructor simple.
*
* A typical use is
* \code
* static KStaticDeleter<MyClass> sd;
*
* MyClass &MyClass::self() {
* if (!_self) { sd.setObject(_self, new MyClass()); }
* return *_self;
* }
* \endcode
